Affected are the scent-neutral SMÖJTRÄD chandelier candles (25 cm) in various colors. According to IKEA, some candles may contain additional wicks in the wax. These can ignite when burning and cause an unexpectedly large flame – increasing the risk of fires and burns.

The affected candles were sold not only in Austria but also in several European countries.
IKEA: Do Not Use Candles Anymore
Customers are urgently advised to stop using the affected candles immediately. The products can be returned to any IKEA store – even without a receipt. The purchase price will be fully refunded or the goods replaced.
Additionally, IKEA asks to pass on the recall if the candles have been gifted, lent, or resold.
